Here's every single artist who has headlined Glastonbury since 1970
Glastonbury Festival is legendary, pulling in some of the biggest names in music throughout its 53-year legacy, from David Bowie to Sir Elton John. Speculation over who will take to the Pyramid Stage is always huge, with The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo taking the crowns for 2025's lineup. Looking back at the incredible headliners, it's no surprise that even legends have to wait their turn (unless you're Coldplay, who, as of 2024, have played five times and hold the record for most times as headliner). Come rain or shine, Glastonbury is usually held in late June but not every year as the ground needs to recover with the occasional fallow year — just like next year. Ever since the Somerset music festival opened its doors in 1970, it's pulled in some massive names, especially for a gig that only cost £1 to get into originally. With anticipation for 2025 at an all-time high, we look fondly back at the headliners who've come before… 1970 – T. Rex Tyrannosaurus Rex (soon to be took the first-ever top spot for the launch of Glastonbury Festival after The Kinks pulled out. 1971 – David Bowie Ziggy Stardust became a headliner after Pink Floyd cancelled and, despite his icon status, he would only headline one more time. 1972 to 1977 – No Glasto! 1978 – No headliner This one is known as the 'impromptu' festival with no headliners as such. 1979 – Tim Blake and Peter Gabriel 1981 – Ginger Baker, Hawkwind, and Taj Mahal 1982 – Van Morrison, Jackson Browne 1983 – Curtis Mayfield, UB40 1984 – Weather Report, Black Uhuru and The Smiths 1985 – Echo & The Bunnymen, Joe Cocker and The Boomtown Rats The Style Council and The Pogues also performed but didn't get the top billing. 1986 – The Psychedelic Furs, Level 42, and The Cure Festival goers could also see Madness and Simply Red, with tickets costing less than £20. 1987 – The Communards, Elvis Costello and Van Morrison 1989 – Suzanne Vega, Elvis Costello and Van Morrison This year saw some firsts with the first consecutive headliners, as the festival skipped 1988, plus Suzanne Vega as the first-ever female headliner 12 Glastos in! 1990 – The Cure, Happy Mondays and Sinead O'Connor 1992 – Carter USM, Youssou N'Dour and Shakespeare's Sister 1993 – The Black Crowes, Christy Moore and Lenny Kravitz Red Hot Chilli Peppers were set in the headline slot but decided to drop out of the then £58 festival. 1994 – Levellers, Peter Gabriel and Elvis Costello Lower on the listing were some truly incredible talents and future headliners with Johnny Cash, Rage Against the Machine, Radiohead, Blur, Oasis, and Bjork all performing at the festival. 1995 – Pulp, Oasis, and The Cure 1997 – Ash, The Prodigy, and Radiohead 1998 – Primal Scream, Pulp and Blur 1999 – Skunk Anansie, REM, and Manic Street Preachers This year saw two Glastonbury debuts from future Pyramid Stage headliners Muse and Coldplay. 2000 – Travis, The Chemical Brothers and David Bowie Fans this year were treated to an extra special show as this is the last time the Heroes legend would take to the Pyramid Stage. 2002 – Rod Stewart, Stereophonics and Coldplay 2003 – Moby, REM, and Radiohead 2004 – Muse, Oasis, and Sir Paul McCartney Bellamy, Muse's guitarist, gave the band's headlining performance some extra spark when he smashed his guitar on stage. 2005 – Basement Jaxx, The White Stripes, and Coldplay Jack White has returned to Worthy Farm since but the White Stripes split shortly after this. 2005 was also the year the legendary Kylie Minogue was set to headline but cancelled last minute. 2006 – Arctic Monkeys, The Killers and The Who All first-time headliners this year in an impressive lineup but elsewhere icon Adele was chasing pavements — 10 years before taking the headline spot. 2008 – Kings of Leon, The Verve and Jay Z Every year without fail, Kings of Leon are mentioned as possible headliners; this is the one time it proved to be true. On Sunday, Jay Z made history as the first hip hop headliner, much to Noel Gallagher's chagrin. 2009 – Neil Young, Bruce Springsteen and Blur 2010 – Muse, Stevie Wonder and Gorillaz 2011 – Coldplay, U2 and Beyonce While Coldplay returned to the festival for the umpteenth time, U2 managed to nab a headline after dropping out the year before (replaced by Gorillaz). Beyonce was the first solo female headliner since Sinead O'Connor and only the third solo female ever. 2013 – Mumford & Sons, Arctic Monkeys and The Rolling Stones 2014 – Arcade Fire, Kasabian and Metallica Dolly Parton was also here for this year's Legend slot and pulled in a massive crowd despite not headlining. 2015 – Kanye West, Florence & The Machine, and The Who Florence only took the top spot after the Foo Fighters dropped out and Ye proved a controversial choice (not for the reasons he would be now, though). 2016 – Muse, Coldplay and Adele 2017 – Radiohead, Foo Fighters and Ed Sheeran 2019 – Stormzy, The Killers and The Cure 2020 – Kendrick Lamar, Sir Paul McCartney and Taylor Swift Only it never happened because, as we all remember, the world was put on pause in the global pandemic. Sir Paul and Taylor have reunited, though, at her Eras Tour in London, while Kendrick featured on her track Bad Blood. This lineup would have been legendary. 2022 – Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Sir Paul McCartney In a slight switch-up of the promised 2020 headliners, Billie became the youngest-ever headliner while Sir Paul took the title of oldest-ever headliner. 2023 – Arctic Monkeys, Guns N' Roses, and Sir Elton John A double debut from two icons here – both Guns N' Roses and Sir Elton had never headlined before. 2024 – Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and Sza Yes, Coldplay again. It's no secret that this line-up caused a little controversy with fans complaining. However, it is also one for the history books as it marked the first time two headline slots have been taken up by female performers – it only took 54 years! More Trending 2025 – The 1975, Neil Young and Olivia Rodrigo Another American pop princess, Olivia Rodrigo, is set to headline and close the show on Sunday — a risky choice after Sza failed to impress but fans have faith in her ability to turn out a show. The 1975 are also a controversial one, as frontman Matty Healy has a tendency to be an absolute menace. Neil Young is probably also controversial to someone, so pinch of salt with the complaints. Other big names this year are Charli XCX being Brat and the return of The Prodigy, as well as Patchwork rumours and our legend, Sir Rod Stewart. Got a story?

Three of the worst fairground disasters EVER - including one that haunts Britain
As children are left 'shaken' by a terrifying waltzers fiasco, we look back at some of the worst fairground disasters ever from horror injuries to huge fires Theme parks are usually full of thrills, fun and joy but sometimes accidents happen that result in terrifying tragedies. For the most part, these rides are safe but recent history is littered with horrifying cases where things go wrong. Just this month, children were left "shaken up" at the Galactic Carnival in Edinburgh as a waltzer car hurtled off track. The grim moment a fairground ride went "flying" with children inside was caught in terrifying footage. Thankfully no-one was hurt, but others haven't been so lucky. The Mirror looks back at some of the most shocking fairground disasters - where ordinary family days turned into horror. Battersea Big Dipper Disaster - London, 1972 The wooden rollercoaster had been a funfair favourite since it opened in 1951. But in 1972, everything changed. A rope snapped while the ride was high in the air. At first, some riders thought it was just a prank but the panic soon set in. The brakeman tried to trigger the emergency rollback brake but it failed. One of the carriages derailed, smashing through the barrier, with two more crashing on top. Five children were killed and 13 others injured, making it Britain's worst ever fairground tragedy. The ride was dismantled and has not been rebuilt. Haunted Castle Fire - Six Flags, New Jersey, 1984 This haunted house attraction was made of seven aluminium trailers and plywood frames. When a foam pad inside caught fire, the blaze tore through the structure within minutes. Eight teenagers who were trapped inside the building tragically died. Their bodies were so badly burned that investigators couldn't tell them apart from the fake skeletons used as props. A year later, a private investigator claimed the fire was arson and blamed the park for failing basic safety checks. The tragedy forced Six Flags to revamp its fire protocols and even add its own in-house fire brigade. State laws were also changed, spurred by grieving families who demanded better protection for others. The Smiler Crash - Alton Towers, 2015 It was supposed to be a thrill ride but instead, it became one of the UK's most shocking rollercoaster accidents. A fully loaded train on Alton Towers' famous ride The Smiler collided with an empty carriage at 20mph. It wasn't a mechanical fault but a chain of human errors. Earlier that day, a test train had stalled mid-ride due to wind, triggering the safety system. But different engineers, unaware of its location, overrode the block resulting in the next train to crash. Two teenagers suffered life-changing injuries and needed leg amputations. The ride reopened just a year later. In 2018, the victims sued Merlin Attractions for negligence, pointing to a long history of technical issues.

There's possible reunions for some soap couples, while new romances form. We have new arrivals set to shake things up, while there's also hints of dangerous showdowns and surprising alliances. It's safe to say that summer and autumn, and even winter, in soap land is going to be chaotic, epic and as dramatic as ever. Fans can expect emotional twists, joyful moments and gripping new scenes on the way. With one soap star even teasing a glimpse of their show in six months time, and the upcoming anniversaries and Emmerdale and Corrie crossover all discussed, there is so much to look out for. Here are all the little snippets we were told... READ MORE: Emmerdale fans 'know what's wrong with Robert' in sad health twist after scene with John Emmerdale We spoke to plenty of cast members recently, and so much was teased. Plenty of the stars had a lot to say about Robert Sugden's return, and whether a Robron reunion would happen. Some fans teased a "long" and rocky road ahead for Robert and ex Aaron Dingle, while there were also hints about a downfall for John Sugden. As one cast member told us characters were still in the dark about his killer ways, another star told The Mirror that him always being in the right place at the right time could soon spark suspicion. Elsewhere, and the cast gave their verdict on some new arrivals including some possible villains. While the details were very coy, there were hints of dark twists ahead as one newcomer joins the show - while there was also hints of trouble for Moira Dingle due to the second newcomer. There's a familiar face coming back, with a relationship to be explored for two characters. We can also confirm two characters currently at war on the soap are about to team up. As the pair join forces determined to get to the bottom of a recent murder, will an exit be sealed? One other character hiding a killer secret will be left relieved to see she won't be exposed, as one star told us a possible vendetta against the secret killer is dropped. There's also some powerful and emotional scenes ahead as residents say a final goodbye to a loved one. Stars promised big scenes here, and some performances to watch out for. Finally, one character's secret diagnosis will soon come to light resulting in emotional scenes for their loved ones. With that, we could see two exes get closer again amid hopes of a reunion from fans. A final spoiler saw one star reveal all on an unexpected couple growing stronger on the show, while another star shared there will be concern for one resident as a mystery storyline develops. Coronation Street Over to Corrie, and there's plenty of whispers surrounding the show's 65th anniversary and its big crossover with Emmerdale. Nothing has been revealed yet, but cast members said it was safe to assume it would be grand and epic. One cast member teased a new side to their character going forward as they learn to stand on their own two feet. We could see a bond between two residents deepen, as they prepare to say goodbye to a loved one. Two stars shared their upset over the looming exit of a co-star, while another actress told us there were big things to come for her character. Teasing a change in dynamics, she also revealed we could see a new romance for the fan favourite. We also got the lowdown on what's ahead for some of the younger cast, with "fun and drama" on the cards. Cast members also addressed the possible wedding of Swarla, with more than one cast member backing it in a chat with us, with them all wanting to take a trip to Ibiza too. Perhaps there will be a new cat heading to Weatherfield too! Viewers will also see plenty more of detectives Lisa Swain and Kit Green too as they continue to clash. We may finally see whether a couple make it against the odds, and whether two sisters can put the past behind them. Hollyoaks Over in Hollyoaks village, and the drama continues for more than one character. One character is set to return to the show, and it could lead to an almighty showdown with a long-time enemy. There's more than one unexpected twist thought to be on the cards, with unexpected alliances, futures uncertain and reunions hoped for. Two former enemies look set to unite, months on from them fighting over a man - but have they turned a corner? They're not the only rivals putting the past to bed, as a rather unexpected truce looks set to be on the cards for two village icons in a move we certainly did not see coming. With that, fans can expect a long-time villain to change their ways - but how long for? As more than one character deals with recent trauma, there could finally be a reunion for a fan favourite couple - with new and more scenes of them together confirmed to The Mirror. The stars playing the characters teased there would be a happy ending in sight, but could more drama get in the way? There's a newcomer on the way too who sparks a romance with another villager, while the actor playing the newbie didn't go into detail. And as one villager's future on the show remains in doubt, the actor playing him hinted it might not be over just yet. Then there's the 30th anniversary later this year, which the cast have been sworn to secrecy over. But multiple stars teased massive scenes will air, big twists, plenty of drama with one star telling viewers it was a must watch. EastEnders Fans have plenty to be excited about as more than one cast member promised big storylines ahead. The returns of more than one character appeared to be confirmed by a star, while the comeback of Max Branning in particular seemed to be revealed. Other past characters including Cindy Williams and Carol Jackson were also called on to return by their co-stars, while Jacqueline Jossa said she'd heard rumours of more than one comeback. Not only that, but she revealed she knows all about what's happening on the show in six months time, so the lead-up to Christmas. She gave nothing away but her face said it all, with her hinting at some massive twists ahead and saying it "excites" her. There were hints of a love triangle forming too, and two strong females possibly going head-to-head. One actress hinted to us a couple may finally reunite too, amid fans calling for the twist to air. Not only that, but two cast members told The Mirror that things would continue for sinister teen Joel amid him being a bad influence on Tommy. Both Shane Richie and Sophie Khan Levy hinted things would escalate with the teen, and there could be a revenge twist if the truth comes out. One family will be shown getting stronger, but with that "mistakes" will be made. Amid a heartbreaking split on the show, two stars hinted it might not be over for good. Cindy Beale is in her independent woman era too, and romance might be off the cards for a while. There's also thought to be a big story and "fireworks" coming for newlyweds, third time lucky, Alfie and Kat Moon. We can also reveal there's an "emotional" storyline coming up for Kim Fox, that actress Tameka Empson hopes fans will resonate with.
